Job opening: Community Manager

We’re getting ready to launch a lot more community features on EveryBlock, and we’re looking to hire a Community Manager to help us lead the way.

Specifically, we’re looking for somebody to lead the growth of the EveryBlock community on our site, on social networks and in real life. This person would help grow our user community, help guide our development team to build the tools our community wants by being a liaison with our users, and help spread the word about EveryBlock by attending community meetings and guiding our social-media efforts.

It’s a big, important job. Given that we’re a small, “startupy” team, this person would have a ton of impact.

The position is based in Chicago. For more information, check out the more formal job posting. If you’re interested, e-mail msnbcjobs@msnbc.com with the subject line “Community and Outreach Manager, EveryBlock.”
